Certification in Mobile Learning
Further evidence that mobile learning is here in pedagogy - at least for K-12 teachers. The University of San Diego will start offering this fall a certificate course designed for K-12 educators and administrators. Its School of Leadership and Education Sciences recently announced the creation of a Mobile Technology Learning Center (MTLC) to provide research-based answers to many of the unknowns regarding mobile technology and learning.
By collaborating with local school districts, other institutions of higher learning, and government agencies, MTLC wants to become a "living laboratory" for schools and educators, to test research findings, and to provide future teachers with unique teaching and research opportunities.It's the first mobile-tech program of its kind to provide an accredited certificate through a university system, and is being offered nationally as a fully online experience.
Called "Digital Literacy for Teachers and Leaders," the program includes four in-depth courses that can be completed in eight months. Topics will include integrating mobile technology tools into the student learning experience, as well as developing tools and metrics to evaluate their success.
